The Verify Parent Accounts screen allows users to easily review parent account setup requests. Once the parent information has been reviewed according to district processes, the user can either accept or reject the parent’s account request. Accepting the request will enable the parent’s account, allowing them to access their student's information via the Focus Parent Portal.
1. In the Users menu, click Verify Parent Accounts.
